If it is a bready kind of smell, its yeast, if it's fishy, probably bacterial, and either will result from hormonal changes. after I gave birth to my daughter, i had severe infections, 2 weeks out of every month, and they would alternate, bacteria one month, yeast another. I drove my ob-gyn nuts, poor guy was actually very good and sympathetic. We couldn't get a grip on it for a year! Check with your gynie even if you don't have pain or itching. He can do a slide right then and there and figure out if you need treatment.

The keytones might be adding an extra smell.

My boyfriend just told me that I have a "hospital smell" down there now. I'm a nurse, so I don't even want to think about what type of "hospital smell" it is. I'm almost 7 weeks out, and we've only had sex twice since surgery (we both work a lot and live an hour away from each other). I've always showered before sex and use B&BW scents, and he's never mentioned anything about a smell until after I had surgery. He says he doesn't start to smell it until after he gets things "going" in there. Has anyone else's partner mentioned a difference during sex?

The first week or so i did notice a sweet musky smell. It did not smell bad but i dont like anything out of the ordinary going on down there. My hubby enjoyed it though and insisted i sit on his face.

OMG! Love it! Your hubby sounds like mine!

Could u be dehydrated? Perhaps it's the urine? I remember when I was pre op and eating horribly, I never drank water..I had this issue..my yoga pants even carried the small from that area. As soon as I increased my Water the smell has stopped.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
